Cluster of pink cosmos flowers in a tall portrait layout. Theres 5 open blooms and a couple of unopened buds rising up from feathery green ferny stems. Each flower has 8 petals around a sunny yellow centre with the petals stitched directional from the inside outward.
The pink colour layers up nicely, hot magenta near the flower centre fading to softer rose pink at the petal edges. Stems run leafy green with the classic feathery cosmos foliage in fine line pattern. The arrangement clusters toward the centre of the design, smaller buds spread outward at the lower corners. Im fond of how the pink range gives ya depth without going tonal soup.
I get messages from gardeners and floral hobbyists every spring asking what flower designs work well for cottage garden pieces, this one always lands well. One customer sent me a photo last june of it stitched on a linen tea towel for her mum who grows cosmos every summer in her flower beds.
9 sizes from 3.5 by 2.27 inches up to 7.5 by 4.86 inches. Stitch counts run 13,764 to 32,983 across the range, 8 colour changes total which is mostly the pink gradient stops plus the yellow centre and 2 greens for stems and foliage. Density tops out at 905 stitches per square inch in the petal sections.
Best on cream linen, oatmeal cotton, soft mint or pale grey fabric, the pink really sings against muted naturals. Skip bright pink or red fabric since the bloom wont read. Use a medium cutaway stabiliser for the bigger sizes, hoop the fabric snug, the petal directional stitch can pucker if your tension isnt right. Theres no second chance once the satin starts pulling.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
